"Well, it should be this," Chiba pulled out a video cassette from one of the boxes. "Well, the undercover label of this box is the one you wanted."

"Give it to me, I'll see if there's anything special she left for me - maybe I was too young to notice the messages she left me." Officer Chiba couldn't wait to reach out and wait for Chiba to hand him the tape.

"Well, here you go." Chiba handed the tape to Officer Chiba, but as he handed it out, he suddenly stopped his gaze on the side of the casing of the cassette and showed a rather subtle expression. "Uh......"

But he didn't say anything, just watched Officer Chiba stuff the tape into the optical drive of the CD player above the TV.

After some inspection, Officer Chiba sighed. "Like...... That's all that's left here, and there's nothing in front of it. ”

At this time, a very cute girl appeared on the screen.

"Thank you, 仮面バイヤ!" She waved her hand and said in a rather happy tone. But then, the picture stops and becomes a snowflake with no information.

"It's so cute!" Mitsuhiko, Ayumi, and Motota all showed rather excited looks, while Chiba showed a thoughtful expression after being surprised.

"Hey, you're ......" Gray Yuan squeezed Qianyu's hand slightly dissatisfied. Is something wrong? ”

"This face shape is familiar to me, and it ...... I always feel that Officer Chiba has made a lot of money this time, and he has made a lot of money with profits—maybe it's going to be a search lesson...... No, the happiest young single male officer in the Metropolitan Police Department. Qian Yu glanced at it, and seemed to be a little helpless with the vinegar of Gray Plains, and described it with a subtle expression.

"What do you mean by that?" Not only was Gray Yuan stunned, but even Officer Chiba was equally surprised.

"I saw her answer," Chiba walked over to the TV and pulled out the tape. "It's hidden, but if you look closely, you can still see it......"

With that, he straightened one side of the tape. "You can see a faint handwriting here, right?" 私も好き...... It was followed by a color blob, and I don't know what it was' [Author: That's one ❤]"

Then Chiba received a blank look from everyone - although under the mark of the auxiliary unit, he could see the remnants of the color spots that he could not distinguish before, but this did not mean that others could do the same thing. In other words, if even the auxiliary unit can only distinguish the dots in the handwriting left 13 years ago, and then confirm that the other party may have written such a line of words by matching the content of the text, what can others see?

"I can't see clearly," Gray Yuan looked at it with a rather embarrassed expression, but he knew that his eyesight could not be compared to that of a person with electronic assistance like Chiba, so even if he couldn't see clearly, he didn't deny Chiba's point of view. "You...... Can you confirm it, right? ”

"I can't see anything," even Conan said with a helpless expression after fiddling with his glasses. "Even if there is anything left, it has already reached the point where it is completely unrecognizable."

"So, take this box of tapes and go find him when the time comes." Qian Yu suddenly raised his head. "Officer Chiba, didn't you say it before, will the other party come? Take advantage of this opportunity to find her and tell her that the tape was destroyed once, so he didn't receive this message, so if she wants to, I hope she can burn what she wants to say at the time into you in a more direct way. ”

"Or you can just call her back and ask her, you should have saved ...... after she called you" Conan's eyes suddenly narrowed slightly as he said this. Wait a minute, Officer Chiba, when that classmate of yours called you the other day, what kind of phone did he call, mobile phone or landline? ”

"Phone, what's wrong?" Officer Chiba apparently failed to understand where Conan's focus was.

"Mobile phone, that is, something that she didn't have when she said goodbye to you, which means that she specially asked someone for your phone number, and then came to contact you." Qianyu understood it very thoroughly. "This ...... If I don't feel for you, I don't think I haven't attended the class reunion for more than ten years, and then I specially called you after attending a class reunion to ask if you want to go, right? ”

"So, what do you mean...... Should I go over and talk to her straight to the point? "Officer Chiba obviously feels a little reckless with such an extremely radical plan." This...... Isn't it too abrupt and rude? In case we get it wrong......"

"It's better than saying nothing, and in that case, you have at least a 90% chance of winning and the rest 10...... It's no worse than it is now - you see, the two of you are two parallel lines that will never meet, and nothing could get worse than that. Gray Yuan glanced in Qianyu's direction - this made Qianyu a little baffled. Don't think about anything like the relationship between the two of you may be awkward after the confession, at most it will make you wake up from your dream after the confession fails. And if that's the case, it's just exposing you to something that is always true, and not letting you sink into false dreams. ”

"When is the class reunion?" Conan asked. "If only it's too late......"

"Tonight, it's definitely too late......" Officer Chiba was still a little hesitant.

"Then go ahead, make it all clear, and look at it carefully—let me ask, where is the location of your reunion?" Qian Yu suddenly asked with a rather subtle expression.

Gray Yuan Ai seemed to realize Chiha's thoughts, and looked at him with an expression of watching a play.

…………

In the original book, Miike Aeko wrote something on the videocassette box with a water-based pen, and then kept it for 13 years, but ......

Zhihu someone did a test, the water-based pen handwriting was written on paper, and after being stored in the windless + subtropical region for three years, there were some styles of water-based pens that began to fade, so I thought...... At that time, it should have been very difficult for Miike Naeko to use a water-based pen that was easily blurred to survive for thirteen years on a videotape box that was difficult to preserve, and it was even more impossible for Conan to paste the handwriting directly with water, so I directly revised it.
